Module 3: "Color has Three Properties"
  Lecture 7: "Color Hue"
 

 

Warm Color

The range of colors from Red to Yellow- Orange gives feeling warmth. The above photograph (plate 14B) has the range of hues from orange to yellow creating warmer feeling.

Cool Color

The range of colors from Green to Violet gives us cool feeling. The photograph (plate 16B) has the range of green hues giving the feeling of coolness. The associations of colors in respect to other colors create the feeling of cooler or warmer color.

“The hottest radiating bodies (e.g. stars) have a "cool" color while the less hot bodies radiate with a "warm" color.” (Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory#Achromatic_colors ; May 31, 2012)

Interestingly on the otherhand scientifically and physically it is being proved that hottest zone radiates Bluish color and the relatively cooler zone radiates Reddish color (plate17).
